CoreMon, 05 Dec 2016 16:22:13 +0000yoroy515590 at https://groups.drupal.orgUpdates from Drupal 8 core initiatives for November 2016https://groups.drupal.org/node/515176
<p>Would you guess that <a href="http://buytaert.net/drupal-8-turns-one">Drupal 8 is already one year old</a>? One of my favorite changes with the Drupal 8.0.0 release was that we also chose to turn to scheduled releases (to happen twice a year) as well as semantic versioning (to allow us to make backwards compatible additions and improvements). That meant that we don't need to wait until Drupal 9 to come out with new exciting things, and indeed, there are various exciting initiatives going on in core right now. Maybe so many that they are hard to follow. So we decided to revive regular posts about core's progress so you can see what is going on and where you may be able to help. And this is not even all the things happening, just a sampling.
</p>
<h3>Default content</h3>
<p>The latest incarnation of efforts to get default content into core was kicked off at DrupalCon Dublin. The plan is to create an experimental install profile that contains both a new front-end theme (a separate initiative see below) and example content. It was agreed in Dublin that the theme of the example content will follow the same ‘Farmers Market’ scenario as the Drupal user guide. This creates a lot of synergies and removes both continued argument over what the example content should contain and duplication of work involved in supporting more than one content scenario.</p>
<p>Join the ongoing work in this initiative on the weekly example content meetings happening on Google Hangouts on Air and join the #example-content channel in Drupal Slack. <a href="https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/larowlan/2808575">Lee Rowlands has created a sandbox project for the actual Drupal code</a>. The content itself is being iterated on by Keith Jay and several members of his team.</p>
<h3>Media</h3>
<p><a href="http://buytaert.net/a-plan-for-media-management-in-drupal-8">The plan for media management was just announced last week</a>. We'll have a <a href="https://groups.drupal.org/node/515164">sprint in Berlin December 12-16</a> to kickstart development on some key parts of the initiative. Looking for funding for future sprints and sprinters to join the efforts as well. Help with <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2669802">adding a base entity form implementation to support revisions</a> and <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2113931">implementing the file field redesign with drag and drop support</a> would be helpful immediately though.</p>
<h3>Multilingual</h3>
<p>The multilingual initiative works closely with the migration team recently. The <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2669964">Drupal 7 to 8 core content translation migration is close to being committed</a> and <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2225293">language negotiation settings</a> and <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2353709">language types migrations</a> for both Drupal 6 and Drupal 7 are close to landing as well. Would love to <a href="http://www.drupal8multilingual.org/issues/focus">involve more people</a> in migrating i18n and Entity translation module data.</p>
<h3>New core theme</h3>
<p>At DrupalCon New Orleans we kicked off an idea of adding a new theme to Drupal. To address some of the biggest concerns people had over the time about adding themes in core, we decided to work closely with the Default Content initiative.</p>
<p>Currently, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2759849">the idea issue</a> is in discussion, and before starting to do any further work, we are making sure we are on the same page regarding the key questions.</p>
<p>We <a href="https://drupaltwig.slack.com/archives/new-core-theme-design">created a Slack channel</a> which you can join if you want to help or if you just want to follow our progress. Get an invite at <a href="https://drupaltwig-slack.herokuapp.com/">https://drupaltwig-slack.herokuapp.com/</a>.</p>
<h3>PHPUnit</h3>
<p>The PHPUnit initiative was born out of a <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2608062">Drupal 9 discussion</a> what we need to get done before we will open a Drupal 9 Git branch. One goal is to modernize our automated testing system. We are currently using and maintaining a custom version of the Simpletest library which has served as well for many years. In parallel we adopted PHPUnit for our unit tests, but we realized that we can use PHPUnit as a general test runner for our functional tests as well. That means that we do not have to maintain as much test runner code ourselves as we do now.</p>
<p>The goal of the PHPUnit initiative is to move all our Simpletests to browser tests and in the end deprecate Simpletest in Drupal core. Another benefit of this initiative is testing real JavaScript interactions in our functional tests instead of fake AJAX requests performed currently in Simpletest.</p>
<p>You can help by <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2809161">converting AJAX tests to JavascriptTestBase</a> for example. If you want to convert your test in your contrib / custom module, please read <a href="https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/phpunit/phpunit-browser-test-tutorial">https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/phpunit/phpunit-browser-test-tutorial</a> and help out on <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2794285">https://www.drupal.org/node/2794285</a> in case you run into problems. Please follow the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2807237">PHPUnit initiative meta issue</a> for status updates. Join us in IRC in #drupal-phpunit.</p>
<h3>Workflow</h3>
<p>The workflow initiative was one of the first approved initiatives after 8.0.0. The initiative is looking to improve the experience for content authors by improving content workflow and implementing other common patterns that editors are expecting. <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2721129">The plan is split up into multiple phases</a> and in Drupal 8.2 the workflow initiative introduced Content Moderation as an experimental module. In Drupal 8.3 the initiative is planning multiple improvements, including the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2786135">introduction of Trash module</a> and possibly also <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2732071">components of the Workspace module</a>.<br />
One of the blocking issues that the initiative need help with reviewing is <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2721313">the upgrade between revisionable and non-revisionable entity storage</a>. Any help on this will be much appreciated.</p>
<hr /><p>Stay tuned for further updates in December!</p>
CoreFri, 18 Nov 2016 15:20:11 +0000Gábor Hojtsy515176 at https://groups.drupal.orgMedia sprints in 2016 in Berlin, Prague and Munichhttps://groups.drupal.org/node/515164
<p>Last week <a href="http://buytaert.net/a-plan-for-media-management-in-drupal-8">Dries Buytaert published our plan for media management in Drupal 8</a> which details at least the immediate plans. The inherent limitation of file based attachment/image management in core is it does not mix well with remote media (Facebook embeds, videos, Digital Asset Management, etc.) and there is no library of media to browse to reuse existing media on the site. Therefore our short term goal is to add a base to support a wide varierty of media as well as a media library and support for embedding such media in posts in general.</p>
<p>To support this plan, we host online meetings every Wednesday at 2pm GMT in #drupal-media on IRC, but without focused time on implementing these, we are unlikely to succeed before the feature deadline of Drupal 8.3 at the end of January 2017. Therefore we are planning the following sprints for this year.</p>
<!--break--><!--break--><h3>Dec 12-16 sprint in Berlin at Hubert Burda Media</h3>
<p>Hubert Burda Media (initiators of the Thunder distribution) is hosting us at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Potsdamer+Straße+7,+10785+Berlin">Potsdamer Straße 7, 10785 Berlin</a> for a sprint between December 12-16. Confirmed attendees include (in alphabetical order) <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/phenaproxima">Adam Globus-Hoenich (phenaproxima)</a>, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/chrfritsch">Christian Fritsch (chr.fritsch)</a>, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/dietmarg">Dietmar Gigler (dietmarg)</a>, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/g%C3%A1bor-hojtsy">Gábor Hojtsy</a>, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/slashrsm">Janez Urevc (slashrsm)</a>, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/marcoscano">Marcos Cano Miranda (marcoscano)</a>, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/mtodor">Mladen Todorovic (mtodor)</a> and <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/samuelmortenson">Samuel Mortenson (samuel.mortenson)</a>. Additionally <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/dawehner">Daniel Wehner (dawehner)</a> and <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/webflo">Florian Weber (webflo)</a> plan to attend part of the sprint.</p>
<p>We'll work on bringing media features to core (not on contributed modules). If you'd like to get involved, participation in person or remotely would be amazing. This single sprint will not be enough to complete our goals. We are looking to figure out what is still possible in January and need funding to make things happen. If you can sponsor future sprints, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/user/744628/contact">reach out to Janez Urevc</a>. This current sprint is funded by Hubert Burda Media, MD Systems, Acquia and Reinblau.Huge thanks to them!</p>

<h3>Nov 25 sprint at DrupalIronCamp</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.drupalironcamp.com/program/sprints">DrupalIronCamp is Prague is also hosting four days of sprints</a>. <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/slashrsm">Janez Urevc (slashrsm)</a> plans to sprint on the details of the media plan on Friday, November 25th. There may be other media related activities at the sprints, connect with the sprinters.</p>
<h3>Nov 30 - Dec 2 sprint at DrupalCamp Munich</h3>
<p>Hubert Burda Media also hosts the sprints before <a href="http://dcmuc16.drupalcamp.de/">DrupalCamp Munich</a> (sprints between November 30 - December 2, DrupalCamp on December 3-4). Several developers from Hubert Burda Media will sprint on both the core media goals and contributed modules. Look for <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/chrfritsch">Christian Fritsch (chr.fritsch)</a> and <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/mtodor">Mladen Todorovic (mtodor)</a>.</p>

<p>At this point, Drupal needs mentors. Please contact me directly if interested in mentoring a few tasks or many tasks over next few months. We need all the help we can find. Tasks for GCI are meant to be easier for students ages 13-17. Amount of effort to mentor a few tasks is actually easy and enjoyable.</p>
<p>Not interested in mentoring, but have tasks for students? Do you want someone to write/test patches or create video tutorials for your module? Ping me for access to our task spreadsheet and add as many tasks as you want.</p>
<p>Chat with us in real time on IRC @ Freenode in #drupal-google</p>

<p>Maybe you have seen <a href="http://buytaert.net/state-of-drupal-presentation-september-2016">Dries Buytaert's DrupalCon keynote</a> and are looking forward to all the goodies coming in future Drupal 8 versions. The truth is none of those things will happen without people who want to make them happen to solve their own challenges with implementing Drupal solutions. Are you implementing decoupled solutions and have issues you are working on? In the middle of building up a suite of integrated media solutions? These core team meetings are ideal to bring in these issues and discuss solutions and to be part of shaping up where Drupal 8 is heading. Read on for details. (Last updated Nov 8th 2016).</p>

<p>With Drupal 8 now adding <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2785735">new features</a> on a <a href="https://www.drupal.org/core/release-cycle-overview">regular release cycle</a>, the Drupal 8 committers identified the need for additional release management. Today I am announcing that <a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/cilefen">Chris McCafferty (cilefen)</a> has accepted my invitation to be <a href="https://www.drupal.org/contribute/core/maintainers#faq-provisional">provisional Drupal 8 committer</a>.</p>
<p>Chris is a United States-based web programmer at the <a href="https://www.ias.edu">Institute for Advanced Study</a> who has worked with Drupal and the Symfony framework for over four years. He is also a <a href="https://groups.drupal.org/mentoring">core mentoring coordinator</a> who has put in uncounted hours mentoring contributors in person and on IRC and has lead <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2474049">major issue triage</a> sprints at DrupalCons in <a href="http://xjmdrupal.org/blog/getting-d8-done-drupalcon-la">Los Angeles</a> and New Orleans. In addition, Chris spreads the word about Drupal by mentoring at other events, such as <a href="http://princeton.openhatch.org">OpenHatch Princeton</a>.</p>
<p>Chris makes significant contributions to a wide variety of Drupal core issues. If you have worked in the issue queue in the last few years, you have probably interacted with Chris on topics ranging from front-end to the testing frameworks. He has the attitude and skills needed to foster collaboration among the talented contributors in the Drupal community and to continue releasing Drupal on time. Please join me in welcoming Chris.</p>

<p>Did you know Drupal was accepted into <a>Google Summer of Code</a> 2016 and that 11 Drupal projects were accepted? In other words, Google is funding 11 people to contribute to Drupal for 10 weeks worth a total of $60,500 USD (thank you Google!). Congratulations to selected students who are collectively credited on more than 100 issues fixed in the past 3 months on drupal.org. Coding starts May 23rd and ends August 23rd.</p>
<p>Majority of projects are focused on work related to Drupal 8 contributed modules. Drupal's students are from 4 different continents and we currently have 26 mentors from 12 countries with over 150 years of experience on drupal.org. As always, we're excited about this summer and we hope community members will provide an extra helping hand if you see students in queues. Learn more about our projects below.</p>

<p>The Stanford Drupal Camp is a two-day event to discuss and learn about Drupal, an open-source content management system that powers thousands of websites at Stanford, and millions of websites beyond.</p>
<p>This year, the Stanford Drupal Camp emphasizes introductory sessions focused on content strategy as well as thought-provoking sessions for researchers in academia. Those new to Drupal and Content Strategy will be particularly interested in the events on Friday, whereas experienced Drupallers (yes, we spell it with two "L"s at Stanford) may be more interested in Saturday's program.</p>

<p>I'm pleased to announce that <a href="http://scottreev.es/">Scott Reeves</a> (<a href="https://www.drupal.org/u/Cottser">Cottser</a> on Drupal.org) has accepted my invitation to become a <a href="http://cgit.drupalcode.org/governance/plain/drupal-core.html#faq-provisional">provisional Drupal 8 committer</a>. He will be focused on front-end and theming.</p>
<p>Scott has been working with Drupal for nearly 5 years, and has a strong passion around improving the theming experience of Drupal. Scott was a major force in the push for Twig and clean markup in Drupal 8 core, sharing both his technical expertise and his enthusiastic community-building to make Drupal 8's theme layer awesome. He helped lead the "<a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2289511">Consensus Banana</a>" initiative that solved a long-standing concern with how core provides classes and markup, and then helped add the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/node/2580687">Stable base theme</a> so that Drupal core could provide backwards compatibility for themes in minor releases.</p>
<p>Scott has organized sprints and discussions at many DrupalCons, including the groundbreaking templating and performance testing sprint at DrupalCon Portland that allowed Twig to become Drupal's primary theme engine. He and others also organized a <a href="https://assoc.drupal.org/d8accelerate">Drupal 8 Accelerate</a> sprint on security criticals related to the theme system that were blocking Drupal 8's release, engaging novice contributors to fix the issues. Finally, Scott was previously a lead for the <a href="https://groups.drupal.org/mentoring">Drupal Core Contribution Mentoring program</a>, mentoring dozens of other contributors on IRC, at sprints, etc. He is skilled at evaluating a problem, framing how it can be solved, and helping people solve it. In short: Scott has not only the strong technical abilities, but also the patient and supportive personality to make him an amazing fit for a core committer.</p>
<p>Scott's appointment as a core committer was enthusiastically endorsed from the rest of the Drupal 8 committers. Please join me in helping him feel welcome! And please also give thanks to his employer, <a href="https://www.drupal.org/digital-echidna">Digital Echidna</a>, who have agreed to partially sponsor his community time!</p>
